This was a pretty decent ep I do hope Tao puts up more of a fight then Goku is expecting though, I always did like his character hes one of the better Dragon Ball villains imo.

What's up with this Shen guy? I doubt it was an accident that he beat Yajirobi. Ten vs. Tao and Goku vs. Chi Chi should be interesting, she seemed pissed that Goku forgot her.

Kuririn is screwed against Picollo. He isn't lasting long this tournament.

Ahh yes, chichi's i forget if the series actually announced her name at this point, if i remember right your not really supposed to know its chichi, until later but DBZ is so well known that its no big surprise.

It actually hasn't announced her name yet, but I feel even those who haven't seen DBZ should be able to piece it together. But, yeah, she looks like she does in DBZ so I instantly realized.

lol, looks like the announcer dude grew out a mustache. :P
I thought it was pretty funny when he though Kuririn was a ghost.

I wonder how strong Tao Pai Pai is going to be now. Pretty excited to see his match next episode.

Also... that blue widescreen... that was pretty epic.

LOL, Yajirobe is hilarious!
So its Tao Pai Pai vs. Tenshinhan, this match should be really good.
And hmm, so Ma-Junior is his name vs Kuririn... this should also be very interesting.
Shen, hmm he doesn't seem like he can fight but he doesn't really seem to be scared either, the guy is hiding something...

Biggest surprise of the Tournament so far was that Yajirobe got knocked out. By a really annoying never before seen character. Really though I'm a little impatient for it to get underway but this Tenkaichi Tournament seems dope. Had pretty much nailed down who the finalists would be by this point. But now I'm curious how these qualifying rounds will shake out.

Shen seems like a fun character, a shame Yajirobe had to get Yamacha'd though.

Well I have a few scattered thoughts on this episode. I thought the detail of the announcer getting scared seeing Kururin back to life was a small, but funny detail.
Lunch doesn't randomly get guns when she sneezes, she always has them, they're just in capsule form! That makes more sense now.
I would rather Chichi go by a different name than Anonymous, either her real name(but that would take away from the mystery), or an alias. Anonymous seems too on the nose.
It's pretty surprising that Yajirobe got kicked out, but I only hope Shen doesn't kick out Yamucha round 1...
Lastly, I was a bit jaded in dismissing the filler training we saw of Yamucha, Kururin, Ten and Chaozu. I still stand by the fact that I think it would've been much better if we saw them all go on their solitary journeys, or at the very least reach Karin together, but I take back calling it meaningless. I had assumed we weren't even going to acknowledge their journey to Karin when it seemed unimportant in the cast's reunion. Overall, it could've been much better, it was still mediocre, but it has more merit than I gave it. And if I'm correct, the manga doesn't have either their journey, or Goku's training, losing all of the foreshadowing entirely.

Who the heck is the guy who knocked Yajinrobe out? Is he supposed to be someone from before? I don't recognize him.

lots of cool gags but this was more of a transitionary episode than anything else so not much really happened. except the newcomer guy. i like the newcomer guy. kind of a shame that yajirobe doesn't get to participate in this tournament. i really like how now roshi is watching as a spectator rather than as jackie chun, shows how now the next generation that we saw training with him in the second arc has fully succeeded him. makes seeing how they're going to expand on this in Z really exciting.

excited to see the tao rematch too. really a nice battle for ten specifically

That announcer's reaction to Kururin's appearance though! 🤣😂😆 For a moment, I forgot that he actually witnessed his murder. But no worries! He just explained that he came back from the dead as if explaining 1 plus 1 makes 2.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

These match-ups are intense. Things are already kicking off with a heated fight, Tien Vs. Cyborg Tao. While it is true that Tao seems to hold the advantage considering he knows some of Tien's regular moves and fighting style, coupled with his advanced boost of power due to his robotic implantations, I am sure Tien has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Oh, it will be quite a welcome sight to see Tao and Shen's arrogant face morph to one of shock and despair.

Let's see then, Goku Vs. Chi-Chi is about to be explosive from the latter's part. She is certainly not hiding her contempt at Goku for forgetting about her. Piccolo Jr. Vs. Krillin is another interesting fight that will most likely allow Krillin to show his full strength and power as he goes all out against Piccolo Jr. Yamcha Vs. Hero is an odd match-up. Hero, after all, isn't what he seems to be. He may seem ridiculous and all-around clumsy, but, as Yajirobe made a note, he is no ordinary fellow.

With each passing 3 years, the announcer seems more of a second parent as he watches Goku and the others grow up and fight in each tournament. That's kind of cute. He is sporting a quirky looking mustache now. It looks nice on him.

That middle-aged guy came as a surprise. I doubt he actually possesses any actual strength but was rather just extremely lucky. On the other hand, I love how they made Chi-chi anonymous - seems she really is holding a grudge against Goku for not remembering her. It's bad luck that Kuririn has to fight Piccolo Jr. though. He will be taken out in an instant for sure.

18 Eps to go


Tao and Junior just didn't killed anyone but wounded them mercilessly. Good thing is everyone went to the semi-finals. The fight between Hero and Yajirobe was funny. Hero is the luckiest person ever I say. Winning against Yajirobe is not that easy. It is sad that Chiaotzou and Yajirobe didn't made it to semi finals.

All the matches are perfectly matched. I am happy that Tien got the chance to defeat mercenary Tao. As Goku said I also believe that Tien will win this. Goku will fight with Chichi. That will be a fight to see, haha!! Krillian as always got the bad luck and this time he will fight against Junior. I hope he survives. Yamcha better be careful with this guy. Hero is lucky enough to win specially if his opponent underestimates him.

Next stage will be more exciting with surely Goku vs Tien again and Yamcha vs Junior. Yamcha and Krillian better be careful here.

It’s actually so cool that we know all of the top 8 (except for the gag character who beat Yajirobe, that pissed me off). I have no clue how this fight is going to go.

I loved the interaction between Krillin and the announcer 😂
